Aww, thank you so much! 😭🥰 One of the things I love about Bluesky is that I've curated my feed so I can interact with tons of artists and authors. I'd been in a creative dry spell for years before this and it feels so liberating ❤️

Playing Secret of Mana in Japanese entirely for fun actually helped me a lot with vocab in a folklore class I took while in Japan 😆 Knowledge builds from unlikely places! Never regret being a nerd ❤️

I was doing translation (JPN-ENG) which is not a huge market, so I wasn't expecting much, but even so it was pretty dire. Sorry to hear that it used to be much better, but glad you had a good experience. I don't really know what to do either, demand for anything creative seems crazy low right now 🥲

I was on Fiverr for a while and I literally did not get a single legitimate inquiry, just a slew of messages that looked like this trying to get you onto a different platform so they can scam you. My guess is that they won't take your examples- their aim was likely different. But who knows 😣

"Sorry, I'm losing you- I'm going through a tunnel"
1. Works if you're actually on the phone
2. Works in person because they won't want to engage further and may in fact leave in all haste
3. Works best if you also make phone crackle noises

Thank you for sharing this with us- it can't be easy. Don't know what to say except that I hope you get to tell all the stories you have in mind now and then some ❤️

I remember that episode! My host mom in Japan made fugu for me once and was very affronted when me and my friend asked if it was safe 😂
(she did have official govt certificates for cooking though, so she definitely knew how to treat it safely)

Ogopogo, the monster of Okanagan Lake here in B.C. I've always been a fan of Nessie but Ogopogo is just so much fun to say 😂

You can find it in regional specialty stores in Tokyo! A fact that my language partner should never have shared with me 😂

I saw that here in Canada a while back and thought the same thing!!
There are SO many regional Japanese specialties that a single mere mortal couldn't possibly know them all 😂
(Opinion I desperately want to insert: the best Irohasu is the Hokkaido-limited ハスカップ (honeysuckle?))

Heard this myself once when I complained of crippling fatigue. YEARS LATER found out that I had very real, scary issues. The fact that I'd lost weight during those years weirdly didn't fix them 🙄 I want to go back in time and slap that doctor in the face for making it take so long to get real help

I hadn't visited since January because I haven't had the money to order anything, and when I checked my wishlists, my *ENTIRE* BL wishlist was GONE 😭 There are a couple of BL things left on the site if you search, but it's utterly decimated. I can only hope they're slowly going to bring stuff back 😥

I just learned that Surugaya, the place I buy all of my Japanese used books, took down all its 18+ content in May due to the (non-Japanese) CEO of Visa in Japan. While hetero 18+ content has since been reinstated, LGBTQ+ content largely has not come back, and I don't know if it will. I am ENRAGED.
